So, I am building the 1960 Revell/Monogram 1960 Chevrolet Impala. I was about to attach the Power Steering pump and started to look at Google Images. I can find a few pictures of the PS pump attached to the back of the generator on 1959's, but for the 1960's I can't find a single picture. Was this a hold over from the kit being issued as a 1959? Was the PS pump in a different location on the 60 from the 59? While not a huge deal, as mine is going to be somewhat custom anyway, I was just wanting to make sure I was right here.

'60 Impalas had the PS pump mounted very low and tucked in close on the drivers side of the block.

Yup...though the generator-mounted pump is listed as being fitted through 1961 on some models.

NOTE: This is probably the correct setup for 1960, as Eckler's sells the bracket set for 1960-1964, 348 and 409 engines.

Thanks, I figured it was just a left over from the kit being used as a 59 also. The cat eye tail lights are on the chrome tree as well as other parts.
